LPGA English Cave-In Begs Question: Can America Ask Anything of Immigrant Workers?

LPGA English Cave-In Begs Question: Can America Ask Anything of Immigrant
Workers?

SPRINGFIELD, Va., Sept. 5 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- English First Executive
Director Jim Boulet, Jr., was saddened to learn today that the LPGA felt
compelled to cave in on its proposed English requirement for all tour players.

"Once again, the notion of a private organization imposing any standards, even
on immigrant workers, has been crushed by professional ethnic activists and
grandstanding reporters," said Boulet.

"To read their outraged columns, one would think that the LPGA was expecting
English oratory worthy of Shakespeare, instead of the modest English fluency
demonstrated by Bull Durham's Nuke 'I'm just happy to be here' LaLoosh during
post-game interviews," Boulet said.

"The LPGA's English policy was intended to benefit both the Tour and all its
players. Imagine Tiger Woods unable to speak English. Would he still enjoy
the same corporate endorsements? Of course not," Boulet said.
